Anne Hathaway’s ‘Catwoman’ Costume Revealed: It’s Less Like Halle Berry’s & More Like Original Comic

Although we won’t be seeing Anne Hathaway in the iconic role of Catwoman in The Dark Knight Rises for more than a year, an insider tells HollywoodLife.com new details about her much anticipated costume — and it’s not going to be like anything we’ve seen in the previous movies.

I'm wih JL - Catwoman does NOTHING for me. They way I figure, no matter what the costume looks like, it'll still have an ugly talentless hack wearing it. I would have much rathered they just kept the "Catwoman" character out of this movie.

LOL!!! Thanks for the vote of confidence DLZ. Anything I've ever seen her in was garbage man. I just can't see what anyone sees in this girl. I admit that she has a nice bidy as I always have said but aside form that I see nothing remotely good about her.

Catwoman is supposed to look like this ( http://catwomanfan.com/en/c... ) , this ( http://30.media.tumblr.com/... ), or this ( http://26.media.tumblr.com/... ). What's the point of hiring a girl with long dark hair to play Catwoman if you're not going to have her bring back the Classic look. I say this is a bad call DC and DKR producers (if she looks like the modern version), and if the Hathaway version doesn't resemble the Classic version, I'm boycotting the film.

I'm just tired of DC insisting that Catwoman isn't as beautiful as she actually is. I collected every comic that Catwoman was in from the 1970s and on through the Jim Balent era in the 1990s when she still looked like she is supposed to do. However, as soon as they went to the modern look which is actually an interpretation of the doubly erroneous Frank Miller and Tim Burton versions, I had to stop.

Now that they're coming out with Catwoman #1 in comic book form and featuring Anne Hathaway -- whom looks far more like Julie Newmar than Michelle Pfeiffer or Hale Berry ever did -- as Selina Kyle / Catwoman they had a great opportunity to restore Catwoman back to her former glory that she had in the comics from the 1940s (many people say that Ledger's Joker does harken back to the 30s and 40s original, so its not as if the current film series hasn't been taking these characters back to their roots to respond to the person that said there hasn't been a Classic Joker) and through the Balent era in the 90's and onscreen during Julie Newmar (and Lee Meriwether in the Adam West Batman movie)'s screen portrayal; however; it looks like they plan on the blowing their opportunity to do so.

Sorry, I'm not trying to flame and fires here, but you're willing to skip out on the sequel to arguably the greatest comic book movie ever made...because of a costume? Seems a tad brash to me, and not just a little ridiculous.

That's part of the fun of these new movies, and comic book films in general. I love seeing everyone's interpretation of well known characters. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't, but I think Nolan has proven himself well enough to be given the benefit of the doubt even if a costume doesn't look 'right'.

Trust me though, with Hathaway in the suit, they'll still play up the beautiful aspects of the character. I don't think you'll have anything to worry about there.

If she doesn't look more like the Classic version than the modern version (and Hathaway is an actress that inherently has the looks of the Classic / Original Catwoman), then the Nolan interpretation will just be a continuation of the erroneous interpretations of the character that have been around since Miller's Year One and Burton's Batman Returns and in the comic books post Jim Balent.

I would just like to see Catwoman restored to her proper look with her long, flowing and wild black hair in the comics and on the big screen before I leave this planet, and I'm starting to get old.
